Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Enjoy this pie on a special occasion but remember to keep tabs on portions.

Special Extra

Garnish each slice with a NILLA Wafer just before serving.

How to Make Chocolate Curls

Warm BAKER'S Chocolate slightly by heating it, unwrapped, in the microwave for a few seconds until you can just smudge the chocolate with your thumb. Hold the chocolate steadily between thumb and fingers of one hand and draw a peeler slowly over flat bottom of chocolate. Allow a thin layer of chocolate to curl as it is peeled off the bottom. This will make long, delicate curls. Make short curls using the same technique on the narrow sides of the square. To arrange curls on a dessert, use a toothpick to lift them into place.

My brother said it's like every good pie all in one. It is very rich though so we could only eat a piece at a time, but still very delicious.

Amazing. You have to eat it within a few days, though or the bananas will turn brown. My husband and I think it is the best cold pie we've ever eaten :)

Very easy to make and tastes superb! As someone else mentioned, it doesn't stay good past a day or so, but it goes fast.

I made this receipe for my inlaws and everyone LOVED IT! My MIL wouldn't leave without getting the receipe from me. I made it with low-fat whip topping, fat free jello, low fat peanut butter and a low fat pre-made pie crust. Still DELICIOUS! I am making it again tomorrow for a birthday party--

This was a little messy to make, but so good to eat! My husband and I both loved it! I'll definitely make it again.

I ended up making it without the bananas, since they had magicially dissappeared. But it was still very good and I will definitly make it again, with and without bananas.
